Overview
The Virtual Private Network (VPN) service provides secure, encrypted connections that allow an off-campus computer to appear to be connected to the Hamilton College network. Hamilton members use VPN to remote into their on-campus machines, connect to network drive folders, and use the Citrix workspace all while off-campus.
To use a VPN, Hamilton members must first be granted VPN access and install the Cisco Anyconnect application on their devices.
